Why Pay for Licenses?
Most commercial SCADA systems charge you for everything: the number of tags (I/O points), runtime environment, developer tools, and annual support. VS SCADA takes a different approach.
Our solution is built on powerful Open Source technologies (Node-RED, JavaScript, Linux). This means you own the system completely.
| Feature | Traditional SCADA | VS SCADA |
|---|---|---|
| Tag Limit | Limited (500, 1000...) | Unlimited |
| Annual Fees | Yes (Support / Renew) | No (0 €) |
| Web Access | Extra license required | Included (Unlimited users) |
| Database | Proprietary / SQL License | Free (SQLite / InfluxDB) |

The only limit is the physical performance of the hardware (CPU/RAM) and network bandwidth. For most industrial applications (up to 5,000 tags), a standard Industrial PC is more than enough.
